The lost city

The lost city of Arcia Finsa

Sitting near the table you watch the rain drip down your window. It’s been raining non stop since this morning and you didn’t have anything planned today so you’re watching the rain through your bedroom window instead. Then there’s a knock that pulls you out of your trance, you turn to look at what happened and see a drenched dove sitting on the outside windowsill. The dove notices you attention and coos softly before disappearing into the sky. You wonder at the bird’s strange behavior as you go to rest your head on the table in front of you, but before you do you notice an envelope resting near your head. The envelope is covered in mud and looks as though it’s been through a lot just to get to your home. Out of curiosity you open the letter, carefully opening the swirling dark blue seal depicting a dragon head with deer antlers and a small crown.

Dearest Adventurer, 

This letter in an invitation sent to fourteen other CBers to come join us in the Lost city of Arcia, which has recently been rediscovered. Should you choose to join us there will be adventure abound, monsters to slay, treasure to find, and places to explore that have been untouched for centuries. Should you choose to bring your AEs and Captcha we encourage you to have them be in a group at all times, the City could be dangerous and have traps that could result in a painful death. You will each be assigned classes and abilities to assure your safety on this trip. There may be more than one of each class but not one of them is the same, each class has different subclasses that affect the features, abilities, items, equipment, strengths, and weaknesses of each class. In addition to magic you will be treated by a meal everyday with a camp containing many tents that’s contents run from popcorn machines to sleeping quarters to an armory. Should you choose to join us take this letter, fill out the form on the back and toss the letter into the air outside of your house, we will pick you up in a few days.

We will not be held responsible for any untimely deaths, diseases, illnesses, insanity, or other anomalies that may occur while on this trip. We will try our best to treat the guests who are afflicted though we may not have the means to save them at hand.

Sincerely, 

Your City Guide, Jay Kirol

After reading the letter you decide to join the adventure, as it is certainly better than staring at raindrops all day. You look through the next sheet that reads;

Pronouns: 

CBer, AE, or Captcha: 

Appearance: 

Personality: 

Magic, stealth, or strength(please pick only one):

(If you picked Magic please choose one)Pact, connection, voice, heal, forest, or study:

(If you picked Stealth please choose one)Blade, creature, or energy:

(If you picked Strength please choose one) Emotion, sword, or protect: 

Packing list: 

Other: 

You fill out the form and stand beneath the eave of your house, wondering why you need to throw the paper into the air outside your house. You shrug and toss the letter up into the air, before it has gone all the way up the dove from earlier catches the letter in its claws and disappears in a breeze smelling of citrus as a soft laugh  echos in your ears, it seems vaguely familiar but you can’t remember where you’ve heard it before...

Magic, stealth, or strength(please pick only one): Hmmm... maybe magic?

(If you picked Magic please choose one)Pact, connection, voice, heal, forest, or study: Voice sounds cool... (not sure what it does tho)

(If you picked Stealth please choose one)Blade, creature, or energy:

(If you picked Strength please choose one) Emotion, sword, or protect: 

Packing list: Markers and spray paint (in case I see a boring wall), phone and charger, headphones (I hate earbuds), mixed media sketchbook, water bottle, Doritos, laptop

Other: What does Voice magic do?
